Ha this is a crack up , this Fisher 29 is my buddy Karl , at the helm of Manatee . Fisher's are cool , I think they made a 37', it helps if you have real sails made up . Quote Karl " they come with bed sheets" . https://www.google.com/search?q=fish...2F%3B533%3B400 By the way he had sellers remorse and never sold it .

Re: Help me find a 40-ish foot pilothouse

I just saw that Tim Lackey is selling the Fisher 30 pilothouse ketch he's been restoring for himself for the past four years. He has painstakingly documented the condition and renovation of this beautiful boat on his website since he bought her. Anyone with an interest in the restoration or even just maintenance of an older sailboat will be totally fascinated by Tim's website.

Great timing. I DID just deliver home to my slip yesterday my 1985 Nauticat 40. For a very long tale of how the shipping and receiving of the boat went rather poorly, see the "I hate boats" thread.

I continue to be amazed at the lack of pilothouse sailboats with good visibility from below. Around here there are a large quantity of boats with HUGE canvas enclosures, which would suggest to me that there is a demand for good pilothouse designs.

I still like the Nauticat 38, but probably not if you're going off shore or really care about sailing performance. There's also a nice Nauticat 43 up here for sale at a good price. I seriously considered buying it, so PM me if it interests you.

I am new here and was wondering if "Med Sailor" ever found his PH?

Re: Help me find a 40-ish foot pilothouse

Ok, how about this for a different idea. 41 CT Pilot House Real nice one up Seward right now. You will feel right at home. Wood masts and booms, heck wood everywhere!

But seriously it does kinda solve one issue. Nice V berth for you and the Mrs and a cabin with bunks for the boys. My wife and I would sure like to find more layouts like this for us and the girls.
